Instructors

Eleni Stavrianou

To me yoga is an approach to life that values appropriate effort, based on balance and harmony, within each person and with each other. It is a time to be still, slow down the constant chatter of the mind and tune in to your body’s sensations. My yoga classes include postures, breathing exercises, relaxation, and meditation. I like my yoga practice to boost physical and mental well-being.

Rosan Oosterom

The practice of yoga and meditation has become a very important part of my life. I knew I wanted to share these beautiful experiences with the world. My style of teaching feels like a journey of the self through the self to the self. I invite you to turn your focus inwards, to become more aware of your breath and the sensations in your own body and I keep on guiding you through the whole practice so you become the explorer. My main focus will always be love and compassion for yourself.

Lisa Koster

Becoming aware of the body, breath and thoughts. Observing, and accepting what is. To discover how there’s always movement. Our body as the pathway to the present moment. That’s what yoga is teaching me. In my yoga classes I focus on relaxation in the poses, natural breathing and embodiment. My yoga journey began in 2009 when I lived in India for an internship. Before I joined my first yoga class, I learned about yoga philosophy just by talking to my Indian friends. Over the years I followed multiple yoga trainings to gain more knowledge about asanas, breathing techniques and yoga philosophy.

Yamuna Devi

Yoga is a beautiful gift to the world. I feel very blessed to have been born into a Yogi family with an Indian father and an English mother, My mother is a yoga teacher and I discovered yoga through her at a very young age. In my sessions, i draw upon all my experiences of healing arts & yoga. I am deeply passionate about being a part of the healing journey of my students. I always listen to the energy and needs of the students and adapt each class to everyones needs offering modifications, keeping the practice playful & fun too.

Gera Fokkens

For me yoga is a philosophy of life. I can't imagine life without yoga. It makes me happy to see what yoga can do for people. To me it is important that people are friendly, both to themselves and to others. This is also reflected during the sessions. By participating with attention and gentleness, one learns to be more tolerant: towards oneself as well as towards the people around. This makes life and the world more beautiful.

Angelika Karrer

A happy life for me means first of all balance. Balance between body and mind. Yoga is the way to support this. Just like eating healthy and being in nature. This is important to me and I like to pass it on to my students. As a yoga teacher, passionate traveler and globetrotter, I like to share my knowledge and experiences with you.

Marianne Willemsen

Yoga taught me to get out of my head and back into my body. To connect with whatever there is in that moment. In my classes, hatha and restorative / yin, I find it important to challenge yourself in the moment and don’t take it (or yourself) too seriously. My classes are suitable for all-levels of yoga. I incorporate the yoga philosophy in an accessible way and invite you to take the yoga off the mat into your life.

Riki Smits

Since 2014 my life has turned upside down, I learned and noticed how important it is to take good care of my body in daily life. Yoga is enormously supportive in this and now it has become much more of a lifestyle than just the physical postures in a yoga class. I like to combine and make intuitive use of these styles depending on the group, setting and time. In my yoga classes I like to take you on a journey in your body, with attention - to (re) connect and listen what your body has to tell you. To take better care of yourself.

Tamara van Well

Yoga teaches me to embrace all the experiences in life just as they are. As one of my teachers mentioned: the wealth in life lies in how you have allowed its experiences to enrich you. Yoga brings me back to being and it keeps me centered. It’s a way of life, to live life with an open kind heart.

Marja Bazuin

Ten years ago I started with yoga, and I fell in love. Yoga taught me that everything is fine as it is in this specific moment. Yoga helps you to check in with your body. To feel and to listen to your heart and your intuition. Yoga is much more than performing the asanas on the yoga mat and during my classes I will help you to find the beauty within yourself.
